Google contacts? - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the Fire HD 8 (2016). I have Google playstore, hangouts, gmail, and the Framework installed and working. When I use Hangouts, my google contacts don't show up. Does anyone know a solution to sync them somehow? I've searched around a bit, but haven't seen any answers yet...

I got the contacts app to install, but I keep getting a parse error when i try to install the contacts sync apk. I tried a few different versions. Not sure what the problem is.

parse errors can be difficult to fix
could try wiping cache in recovery
or factory reset
could be other options

If we could get root for the 2016 model, it would make all this much easier

In case anyone needs this, I got it to work with root access. I installed Google contacts APK, and the contacts synk APK.

Make sure it is not running and if it is force close it, then uninstall it. Try unistalling it using a different tool like quick system info.

Youtube app not showing my subscriptions

hi,just discovered this afternoon that my subscriptions on my youtube account arent being displayed. I keep getting this message "No subscription". The same applies to the Youtube app on my mobile phone. I checked the web version and they were actually present (Subscriptions). Does anyone have this same issue? I cleared the cache and data but still not showing my subscriptions.
Hi. I have the same issues with my A500. Even crashes all the time. Really upset. Will try to flash another ROM.

It seems like maybe te app has lost your login info. Try going into Setting > Applications, and open the YouTube settings and clear data. When you open the YouTube app again, it should attempt to log you back into your correct Google account.
Same here, clearing data did'nt work. In the carousel it shows a couple of my subscription edit: (well they are just recommendation) videos the rest is all random junk. Are you guys on the new Epiphany rom?
I'm on stock Honeycomb and I've cleared settings,cache and data gut still the same issue.

Flashing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21339100&postcount=67 youtube fix with cwm did the trick for me on epiphany rom. It should work for you.

Ummmm no, just the fix. If you're using a non-deodexed ROM you'll need to delete your YouTube apk and odex then flash the fix via CWM.
The app seem to have corrected itself. Now the Carousel displays all my subscriptions,the same goes for the widget

I already deleted the Calendar Sync Adapter and Calendar Storage so there's no Calendar Sync in the Account tab anymore.. >"<.. does anyone knows how to re-install JB firmware ? I need it so badly..
I (embarrassingly) have this same problem and cannot sync my calendar. I have found some other posts with Calendar.apk and .odex files for other phones; will these work across phones running JB 4.1.2? I tried putting them into system/app with a root browser, but after a reboot they were still not installed.
I have a rooted Razr M but did not boot unlock it before I accepted the OTA, so no unlocking for me unfortunately. Any suggestions/anyone have the .apk and .odex files necessary to re-install the stock calendar?

Thank you so much! The files in that thread worked like a charm. I'm not sure why I had trouble finding it myself in the first place...
Sad
Sadly, both the apks for CalendarProvider, and Calendar are not working for my Zenfone 5...
I have the same problem (stupidly deleted by Calendar Storage) and was really hoping this'd work.
Please help?

Zenfone 5? This is for the Motorola RAZR M xt907.... Try maybe downloading one of these and looking through it for the stock system apps or maybe searching through some google links for it

Remove Hangouts?

I just got a Canadian Galaxy S4, I've already rooted, installed custom recovory, installed Titanium Backup and removed a bunch of other useless crap.
I'd like to remove Hangouts but I remeber from the I had my Galaxy S and S2 it would mess the phone up if I removed Google Talk. I know Hangouts replaced Talk so can I safely remove this?
I've never had problems removing it. Back it up first. If it causes issues, restore it.

Anyone know how to revert to Google Talk? Is it as simple as reflashing 20130301 gapps?

Hmmm, I tried installing as a regular apk and it didn't work. I'll try doing it manually. Thanks!

Hi.
U can't get an update like that.
This version is only available for Nexus 5.
But u can get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506691
Remove the old version with root explorer, and install this like normal apps.
Cheers.
